I recently found out that KKM Precision was willing to mill down a G17 barrel to fit the Pencil Barrel slide, allowing a drop in aftermarket barrel for the few of us that fit in this category. The current factory barrel has an OD of .572 and they will be turning down to .532(1). Not sure how many they will make, but they are selling me one at regular price if anyone else is interested.
P.S. Please don't respond if your comment is you shouldn't shoot lead in your Glock, I have heard that story.

I'm just curious here. Could you not ream the slide barrel hole out sufficiently to accept the current factory barrel? If there were no pencil barrel replacement available would that not be an option? I have a 1st gen but it uses the current barrel diameter.

Again, just curious!
Yes, you could, but that would destroy the collector value and make the original barrel un-usable. I think the point here, is that he wants to have an aftermarket barrel to shoot lead in his Glock, and KKM is willing to accomodate him with an after-market, conventionally-rifled barrel for that purpose. (The conventional rifling removes all risks of problems from lead in Glocks, so no one should be criticizing that aspect anyway, Mitch.)
Much better to keep the collectable in original condition and modify the aftermarket parts than it is to modify the original slide. Great idea Mitch, and good on KKM for being accomodating!

I wholeheartedly agree! But should the need arise.....
About 10 or so years ago I ordered a Barsto barrel that I was going to fit myself. I recieved the barrel and when I put it up to the slide I said holy calf! I can't do that, so I packaged everything up and sent it to Barsto to fit. It was months after I got the gun back that I found out there was a pencil barrel Glock and that I have one.
Barrel showed up today and looks fantastic. Dropped right in. I will probably take it out this weekend.When you cast your own and ammo prices drop to 35$ a thousand, a barrel is a wise investment.
